BOOSTER SEATS RECALLED DUE TO FALL HAZARD

August 16, 2009, by Jeffrey J. Kroll

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Target, announced a voluntary recall earlier this week of Circo Booster Seats due to a fall hazard. Target, the exclusive seller of the defective seat, has received eight reports of the booster seat buckles opening unexpectedly. As such, consumers are urged to stop using the booster seat and return the item to a Target store to receive a full refund.

The recall involves Circo booster seats with manufacture date codes XJ0811, XJ0812, XJ0901 and XJ0902. You can find the manufacture date printed on the backside of the seat next to the consumer warning information. The recalled booster seat is blue with green trim and white straps.
